Southland Of The Heart Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A][D][G][D]
[A][Asus4][A][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
When the [A]wild- eyed dogs of day to day
Come snapping at your heels
And there's [D]so much coming [G]at you
That you [D]don't know how [G]to feel
[D]When they've tak[A]en
all your money
And then come back for your clothes
When your [D]hands are full of thorns
[G]But you can't quit gro[D]ping for the rose
[A]In the

[Verse 2]
[Bm]southland of [F#m]the heart
Where night [Em]blooms perfume the breeze
Lie [D]down[G][A]
Take your rest [D]with [G]me[D]

[Verse 3]
When [A]thoughts you've tried
to leave behind
Keep sniping from the dark
When the [D]fire burns in[G]side you but
You [D]jump from every spark
[Bm]When your hear[A]t's beset
by memories
You wish you'd never made
When the [D]sun comes up an [G]enemy
And [D]nothing gives you shade
[A]In the southland

[Verse 4]
[Bm]of t[G]he h[F#m]eart
Where [Em]the saints go lazily
Lie [D]down[A]
Take your rest [D]with me

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Em][D][A]
[D][A]
[Asus4][D][A]
[D][G][D]
[Bm]

[Verse 5]
When the [A]preacher lays his insight down
And claims to lead the blind
[D]When those you trust just [G]get you hooked
And [D]trifle with your mind
When the [A]nightmare's creeping closer
And your wheels are in
the mud
When everything's [D]ambiguous
Except [G]the [D]taste of blood

[Verse 6]
In the [Bm]southland [G]of [F#m]the heart
There's [Em]no question of degree
[Asus4]Lie down[D][A]
Take your rest [D]with me
[A]In the southland

[Verse 7]
[Bm]of the h[F#m]eart
[Em]Everyone was always [G]free
[D][A][D][G][D][Em]
[D]Lie dow[A]n[D][G][D][Em]
[D][A]
Take your rest [D]with [G]me
[D]
